I mean if you are running against democrats apparently there’s not much cost to it

Ditmas park is an interesting one. Lots of money and big old houses make for lots o carbon

Sigh. From the outside it looks the same as DOT, which had big ambitions but dropped the ball due to insufficient staff

Like the other CIty of yes stuff... This is good...

And I don't know if he can implement it as he's essentially gutted the white collar bureaucratic jobs in city hall, the kind of people who make these changes. I wish him the best, but I'm skeptical that he can execute.

Edit: in the long run this helps get there, but in the short term do the departments that fix this stuff have the juice?

Plus you can hit a few cargo elevators lobbies with decent lunch spots in them!

Yea, I wonder if In the long term a recession would bring people back to the office. Not advocating for it, but it seems like the thing keeping hybrid schedules is worker power atm

I feel like we were having the same discussion and people made the same point last year around this time. I guess Omicron messed up the plans last year.

Our doors unmasked and our door gatherings have never been unsafe.

Favorite free things:

island ferry to see the Statue of Liberty Walk the grounds and the sanctuary of St. John the divine Explore Greenwood cemetary https://www.green-wood.com/visit/

For food since you have some time you can explore some of the places deeper in the outer boros.

New world mall in queens to have a bunch of good Chinese options

Get katchipuri in Brighton beach (a bread bowl filled with cheese) find a Georgian restaurant down there, Georgia house is good. While down there you could burn off the carbs and take a long walk to Coney Island for totonnos for a classic coal oven pie.

Nenes tacqueria for quesabirria. They just opened a second location on the border of park slope and sunset park or go to the original one in bushwick. I understand the lines at the one in bushwick are long though. Fucking amazing

Even the hashtag the war on cars needs a staging area

I need to do more research here but it seems like the neighborhoods most affected by increased crime (Cyprus hill for example) moved more blue. I don’t know if the opposite correlate is true, did the neighborhoods with less increase in crime move more red?

Heavily Asian neighborhoods moved more republican, though it’s inconsistent. Chinatown seemed to get more blue, sunset park barely budged, but Bensonhurst and flushing swung the other way.

Def movement though not uniform

So basically instead of using air or dirt as the medium to exchange heat from when using heat pumps it's using the water going down the drain (well it's using that and some amount of dirt because cold NYC days would probably still overwhelm it). Even if that water is tepid that's pretty smart, you aren't holding a bunch of sewage, mostly just running tepid /warm water over some very cold pipes so they can pull more heat out.

If you are unsure what heat pumps are and why they are big part of our future: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7J52mDjZzto

This seems like a weirdly banal thing to get so angry about, but that's the NYC subs, we get real angry about everything.

Heat pumps erase that gap.

Wild times. My niece almost drowned. She was in a pack and play sleeping in a basement an area outside the projected flood zone. She woke up crying and the brought her upstairs. 20 minutes later the basement was full of water. The 5 of them, including the 8 month old and 85 year old great grandmother had to evacuate in the storm and drove through southern Brooklyn to our apartment in the middle of the storm. Thankfully everyone was safe.

Beyond that change, border migration always slows into the fall and winter.

the fuck is wrong with you?

Yea, def. We should make sure to see what happens in every criminal case before we come on this sub to complain about bail reform as well.
